A Special Thanks...

To Never Giving Up

CrystalA phone call from a woman named Erica in Utah resulted in the rescue of beautiful Crystal. Nate, a firefighter with Utah Department of Natural Resources, was working with Georgia DNR and The Nature Conservancy on prescribed burns near Columbus, Georgia, when a little fluffy white cat moved into the campground where he and co-worker Brad were staying. For the next three weeks she was 'their' kitty but it was time to head back to Utah and Crystal couldn't go with them. Nate's girlfriend Erica called no-kill shelters all over the area but couldn't find anyone to take her. The camp staff planned to shoot her when the guys left, so it was critical to find her a safe place. After a five hour drive to Blairsville we were happy to meet up with them and give refuge to this lovely little cat. Crystal is a very fortunate kitty that Erica, Nate and Brad cared enough to keep trying until they reached Castaway Critters. We feel fortunate too, that we are never hampered in our rescue mission by geographic considerations and can respond to such a heartfelt situation and save a life. Regular updates are being provided to her firefighting crew. Thank you Nate, Erica and Brad for caring about this lovely cat.
